GENERAL dEScRIPTION
Type 8645 FreeLine (hereafter referred to as FreeLINE) is a modular, electrical and pneumatic automation system
with elevated protection class IP 65/67 that has been developed for use in open areas. In a homogeneous
system, all the electronic and pneumatic components are standardised so that just by observing a few simple
rules, pneumatic, electrical and electronic modules with different functions can be very easily combined with
one another. All the modules are linked by a locking system. This system also makes the necessary electrical
connections.
